This episode made me so happy. It was good seeing their relationship building going on again and Alya smiling and being happy for a change. Let's have lots more of this!!!
Masachika and Yuki are both in tough positions. Masachika has two sisters who both like him and Yuki is stuck with KFC grandpa. It is explained more in later books but Yuki really longs to spend more time with Masachika. She misses him.
Yeah... Masachika's mother was (at least emotionally) abused into total submission by her father, who has continued that cycle with Masachika and Yuki. Yuki protects Masachika from Grandpa and Masachika is simply done with all that bullshit.
3:40 I believe she suggested in russian she wants privledge to call him by first name - Masachika, not "Kujo-kun", just like he earned calling her as Alya, not "Kujo-san". Those formal forms and seniority forms are just as important in Japanese culture and language as are toxic.
Masachika's grandfather probably got along with his mother, and didn't approve of the divorce. Or more likely his grandfather hates the other grandfather, and thinks the divorce was the other grandfather's idea.
That particular mom doesn't stand up for his kid, because opinion of her father matters more. It's a curse in Japanese relationships - seniority is all that matters, over facts and competence. This anime beams with underlying critic of this system. They're all acting out weird, because there is no other way to rebel this system. Why on episode one, protagonist is asleep in class? He watched anime late at night? Why can't he watched anime in normal time slot? Because youth got robbed from that opportunity by TV networks catering to senior population. Social policies are cursed in Japan, by slashing spending on youth and education in favor of elderly convenience. Elders believe that younger generation purpose is to serve them.
I love when animes/mangas/light novels critique that as obviously toxic if not abusive. KFC grandfather is obviously a horrible person. If he does at one point get his come uppance, which I hope happens, will be glorious. Dude is emotionally abusive to his grandkids and the mother is horrible for letting it happen (granted, she is also a clear victim of abuse here). And I appreciate the story frames it as an objectively bad thing we should be horrified by. It's a part of Japanese culture that should be criticized and needs change. An abusive parent/grandparent doesn't deserve respect. They deserve being shamed.

Alya and Masachika both got blessings from each other's parent and grandparent. We are 1 step closer to marriage!
Grandpa was doing his best to be Masachika's wingman 😂
